As a Funeral Director operating in the southeast of England, we have connections to many cemeteries and crematoria, all of which are located near to our funeral homes; please find information below on each. We are happy to contact them on your behalf if you would like us to.
A cemetery is a large open burial ground, run privately or run by the local authorities, they can sometimes be called memorial parks. A crematorium is a place that carries out cremations.
Some crematoria, especially those with attached cemeteries, offer the choice of burial or cremation; others only offer cremation. We have indicated this where relevant.
